2.2 Hardware Installation
1. Connecting an Ethernet cable
Connect the LAN cable on the camera to the network device (hub or switch).
If there is an IEEE802.3af PoE switch on your network, you can connect the
camera LAN cable to this PoE switch to obtain power. The power adapter is
unnecessary when Internet camera is connected to a PoE switch.
2. Attaching the power supply
Plug in power adapter and connect to power source. After power on, the camera will start
to operate.
1. Only use the power adapter supplied with Internet camera. Otherwise, the
product may be damaged.
2. The power adapter is unnecessary when Internet camera is connected to a PoE
switch. Otherwise, the product may be damaged when Internet camera is
connected to a PoE switch and power adapter simultaneously.
3. Attaching BNC connector
Connect the video BNC connector to a monitor set if necessary. Check camera viewing
angle and focus.
4. Attaching Speaker to camera (optional)
If user needs both video and audio streams, a speaker should be attached to camera.
5. PoE (Power over Ethernet)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that integrates power into a standard LAN
infrastructure. It enables power to be provided to the network device, such as an IP phone
or a network camera, using the same cable for network connection. It eliminates the need
for power outlets at the camera locations and enables easier application of uninterruptible
power supplies (UPS) to ensure a 24/7 operation.
